While sales of electric vehicles(EV’s)have dropped in the year 2014，analysts are saying it won’t last long．2015 is set to be the year when electric vehicles gain numbers and the approval of the buying public．An analyst at HIS Automotive predicts that the sales of EV’s will rise by up to 67％this year due to a number of key factors．

Batteries

As we start to seriously mass-produce the batteries required for electric vehicles，we create necessary competition with several companies who make them．With each of these companies battling for the best contracts(合同)with automakers，the result is reduced cost for the public when battery producers try to undercut each other with lower prices．

Dealership Price Drops

Electric vehicles such as the popular Nissan Leaf have reduced their price by$6，000 over the last few years．Several other automakers have done the same with their vehicle models largely due to the reduced cost from battery suppliers．The dealerships that aren’t lowering their prices are making up for it by offering attractive finance rates(利率)，which always seem to draw the public’s attention．

New Models

This year will see several automakers who were previously absent from the race join the fight against gas such as BMW，Mercedes-Benz，and Volkswagen．In addition to the new models being released，the two top selling EV’s(Chevy Volt，Nissan Leaf)will be increasing the amount they produce this year．

New Markets

Companies like Tesla Motors are set to start selling their all-electric vehicles in more countries around the world．The most significant is the massive Chinese auto market that is sure to cause Tesla’s sales to rise along with its popularity．
